3. Change the contrast to -50
4. Levels: bring the highlight level down from 255 to 100
5. Convert to grayscale
6. Add grain if desired
(Steps 2 and 3 simulate the underexposure to some degree) |
Thanks for the mini-tutorial! Cant wait to try it at home! |
Yes ... I was hoping this thread would have the "how-to" component and not just the "do you like ..."
I shoot quite a bit with exposure compensation set to -0.5 or -1; I think that is the same as you've been talking about (underexpose by using faster shutter) -- I've used that to overcome the lack of any priority modes on the Olympus P+S ... |

Again, great tutorial John! I'm sure most people will benefit from this!

Did you adjust the hightlight levels from 255 to 100? It doesn't look like it to me. It looks very very low contrast. |
I've done the adjusting and I have to tell you, I LOVE this photo!! :) I hope you don't mind me working on it. Here is the one I applied the push processing to.

I'm pretty sure I moved the hightlight in the levels from 255 to 100. I tried to look at what you did but the server timed out and the image never showed.
I'll have to try again.
FYI, the ruins here are fabricated. William Lyon Mackenzie King (one of Canada's early Prime Ministers) had them constructed on his estate near Ottawa. The estate is now a tourist attraction. Just a little travel trivia.

| Yeah, I tried this process on your photo and mine looks pretty similar to aerogurl's...I think you might have missed something. Aero's looks really good though so I'd give it another shot. |

I think the problem is related to not flattening the image first before applying the push process. I tried on my uploaded colour version and it came out much better.

| Ah, yes. That photo works really well with this process, nice job! |

I was looking through my images and came across this one. How about a challenge where everyone uses this technique for converting to B & W.
See the beginning of the thread for the steps.
